The game as it stands right now is very fun and addicting so I would strongly recomended it. I personally am not a big rpg player but this one is good.
I've played some hours the new version (released yersterday). Indeed there are new sound effects - I've managed to count three different in-combat sound effects. They are very short and can get very annoying; fortunately, they can be got ridden of by using the new loudspeaker icon on the command bar. There are no other sounds. That is, sound-wise, the game has still a long way to go. The visuals, as expected, are as unspectacular as in the original build - definitely worse than those of EDGE.

Incidentally, I haven't encountered any crashes during the play. The pathfinding algorithm (for example, when the servant is blocking the way - he just wouldn't move away) can still get pretty annoying. Also, the 3D engine is still a bit buggy in that it tries to, for example, examine chests and barrels from another side of walls. Also, weapons dropped by slaughtered enemies just disappear after you stand on them in order to pick them up.
